It's a new online center where salesforce.com subscribers (including trial users!), partners, and developers can share their on-demand applications for everything from handling expense management to tracking purchasing, monitoring recruiting, and beyond.

Installing an application from the AppExchange is simple as well. Before you click to install it, you'll see a complete list of everything included with it.
